Fix golangci-lint v2 config format

- Changed status query from dbbackup_backup_verified to RPO-based check
- dbbackup_rpo_seconds < 86400 returns SUCCESS when backup < 24h old
- Fixes false FAILED status when verify operations not run
- Includes: status, RPO, backup size, duration, and overview table panels
